Remember when South Park was (usually) really funny? If "White People Renovating Houses" is the A-material for season 21, then I don't have much hope for the show. The loud, obnoxious renovating-Randy shtick got old fast and the 'twist' when he shows up at Darryl's didn't add much to the episode. The opening, with the boys laughing uproariously as they get the "personal assistant" Alexa to repeat outrageously vulgar things, was vintage South Park, but the story-arc about Eric and Heidi was getting tedious last season so I, like Cartman, was displeased to see her at the door. The riff on Confederate flag wavers was neither as funny nor as clever as season 4's "Chef Goes Nanners", in which Chef takes on Jimbo, Ned and other town rednecks over the incredibly offensive South Park municipal flag. Now, that was funny
and 17 years ago. Parker and Stone are talented guys – hopefully WPRH was a blip and there's good stuff coming down the pike.
